Saving a Desert Bighorn Herd in San Andres Mountains
Desert bighorn sheep in New Mexico faced a scabies epidemic reducing the population from about 250 to 70 90 by 1979. State officials adopted a new ivermectin helicopter vaccination system after costly failures with dipping, preserving a core of 19 unevacuated plus 12 returned sheep making a hopeful herd revival. The project cost around 125000 with 75 percent funded by the federal government and 25 percent by the state, aided by private donations.
